166+ ## License FAQs
167+
168+ ### What license do you use?

171+ ### What are the terms of that license?
172+ You can do anything you want with the code except offer it as a service to third parties.
173+
174+ ### Why do you use that license instead of MIT, GPL, etc?
175+ Because we don't want Autodesk, Siemens, Dassault, or PTC to clone our code, change the logo, and start offering it as one of their products.
